VILLAINY

If I were a Zoroastrian -- according to what I learned in class today -- I would believe that good would triumph over villainy. However, Tuesday's miscreant has not left me in such a hopeful and positive frame of mind.

DEF:

1.	the actions or conduct of a villain; outrageous wickedness.

2.	a villainous act or deed.

3.	Obsolete. villeinage.

Origin:
1175–1225; ME vile(i)nie, vilainie <>See villain, -y ³
